Absolutely. Stuff like this happens. Back on September 12 Central Michigan was on the road against Michigan State and was down 27-26 with seconds remaining. They attempted a 47 yard FG which went wide. Sparty started to celebrate. But wait! A flag! Spartans offside! Central got a do over. It was good. Central goes crazy. Final score: CMU 29 - MSU 27.sj-roc wrote:It would have been exponentially more tainted if Ssk had won it on the last play with an extra man on the field.Ballistic Bob wrote:Its a tainted championship. Id sooner have had Duval make his first attempt than that 33 yard gimme. BBThe 13th man belongs in the stands.
Now this of course was not a championship game but it was a huge game for a program from the smaller Mid American Conference up against a comparative heavyweight from the Big 10 in their 75,000 seat building. It was a signature win for the CMU program.
